“Now, we’re embracing MaterialX, a game changer for our industry. We were one of the first to integrate open-source technologies like Alembic and USD,” added Isotropix CTO and co-founder Sebastien Guichou. “At Isotropix we pride ourselves on adopting innovative technologies and industry standards very early on. Angie also adds support for MaterialX, technology created by LucasFilms, that gives allows users to easily import and export look development out of Clarisse, without compromising image fidelity. Isotropix continues its commitment to VFX standards compliance with Angie, adding full support for Open Shading Language (OSL) to make Clarisse more open and customizable, which is especially helpful to users developing custom shaders. For indies and small studios, Angie puts the power of a small render farm immediately at hand.” While on a high-end laptop the GPU is on average six times faster than the CPU, making it twelve times faster than the classic Clarisse renderer. The CPU can render images on average twice as fast as the classic Clarisse renderer. “That’s why leading Hollywood studios choose Clarisse when it comes to rendering their award-winning content. “Clarisse is well known for the speed and interactivity of its state-of-the-art CPU rendering engine,” commented Isotropix CEO Sam Assadian. Angie’s use of hybrid rendering advances, along with its simplified controls, gives users at every level fast, easy access to maximum rendering performance and quality that is consistent when rendering on either a CPU or GPU. Delivering speed increases, it works in tandem with or in place of the classic Clarisse renderer, which will remain part of the software. Anyone with a Clarisse license, including Personal Learning Edition (PLE) and trial licenses, can download the early access build of Clarisse 5.5.Īngie adds an additional powerful rendering solution to Clarisse, enabling CPU and GPU final rendering based on NVIDIA OptiX hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Developed from the ground up to integrate into Clarisse’s interactive CG workflow, Angie lets users render on a CPU, GPU, or both combined, for maximum performance and flexibility. Isotropix has announced the early access release of Clarisse 5.5 with its new renderer, Angie. Early release of Clarisse 5.5 includes new Angie renderer, enabling CPU and GPU final render based on NVIDIA OptiX includes full support for OSL allowing greater customization, taking users one step closer to working in real-time.
